Getting Rid of Tires

Linda talks to Ehren Fried Libach, President of The Quantum Group in Tustin, California about the uses for recycled tires. Of the 270 million tires scrapped each year in the United States, about 114 million are mixed with coal and used as fuel. Rubber playground mats are also made from recycled tires.
